SPRING EQUINOX - REBIRTH

I pulled this one this morning, right before posting here.  Although the time of year is right, it feels more like I'm coming out of a very energetic and productive phase, not moving into one.  My energy level has been really down.  I haven't been feeling emotionally down, just less motivated.   Before, I was staying up until the wee hours of the morning and still going the next day and last night I fell asleep on the couch at 8:30pm!  I'm drinking 3 or 4 cups of coffee to get through the day and still I just want to sit and watch Stargate Atlantis.  I'd rather read a book, (or listen to an audio book) than try to write.  So I don't know...maybe as the week progresses this card will have more meaning to me.

My Oracle Card of the Week



 #12 Porcupine - INNOCENCE
From the book "The medicine in this card is that of relief from seriousness and severity.  Open your heart to those things that gave you joy as a child."

Yesterday was a rollercoster day for me. It went from bad to good, then worse to better.  I like to post my oracle card on Wednesdays, but it just wasn't happening.

My card draws were as all over the place as my emotional state! This week I'm using Medicine Cards, but before I drew this week's card, I was about to write some final thoughts on last week's oracle card in my notebook. 

My Oracle Card of the Week

VILA Shape-Shifting

The book says  "Vila (pronounced vee'lah) is the eastern European name for the Goddess energy moving through the earth as nature."

I usually like to do my oracle card draw the day after I do my tarot card for the week, but this time I did them the same day.  At first glance the two cards seemed completely unrelated.  Then I read the section for the meaning of the of card and this line jumped out at me, "Are you feeling stiff and stagnant, losing flexibility in your way of thinking and being?"  I couldn't help but smile.  It would be lovely if every week’s cards were this cohesive.

Blessings

Now I'm feeling the fluffy-bunny. :D

"The storm has passed, and it is time to enjoy the refreshing beauty of this cycle,..."

Not surprisingly, this card is about counting my blessings.  The book says to..."do so slowly and with genuine gratitude that is expressed up close and personal."

I like go back year after year and re-read my journals, leaving little dated notes to myself. Doing this had taught me that I tend to write more when I'm not happy. 

Last Weeks Tarot & Oracle Cards

7 of Wands

Well, it looks like I might’ve read this one wrong, at least the wrong kind of bugs.  We have been fighting with an irritating cold germ.  No crawling bugs, no allergy attacks. Maybe because I took defensive position to start with, I don’t know?  It hasn’t been too bad, just bad enough to keep us from enjoying the weather over the weekend, and keep me off the computer.

As for my oracle card that I never posted about …

From the Shaman Wisdom Cards #36 Nettle (Masculine-West-Mars-Fire).  Another not so happy-go-lucky card.  This used to be a daily deck for me. It is an odd one, but I’ve bonded with it.  Whenever the Nettle Card would come up there would always be more bickering in my family.  Naturally, I wasn’t too happy to see it pop up as a card for the whole week! 

My Oracle Card of the Week

from The Hidden Path divination deck

Tree in Winter

Endurance, Preservation, Stability



I really need to pay attention to this one.  Trying to follow the ideas from the 5 of swords is not so easy for me.  One of the things I haven’t been doing while my son is home from school this week is meditate.  Trying to get in at least 5 to 10 minutes here and there is better than nothing.  It’s the best thing for me when it comes to mental/emotional endurance and stability.

Preservation…I’m taking this as more about maintenance than conservation.  I just need to hold the fort for one more day then hubby has two days off in a row! (That almost never happens).  If I continue what I began with the 5 of swords then it’ll be a more peaceful weekend.  If not, then I’ll be spending the whole time playing catch-up instead of enjoying my family and some me time.
